My son has a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and the Wi-Fi will not work. All the other devices in our home are working fine. Tried to gain access to some of the extra menus with the star/hashtag numbers, but won’t work. Any suggestions? Any software I can put on my home computer and debug the phone thru the plug? Thanks in advance.
is the wifi connection status shows ‘connected’? If so, you can try to touch the wi-fi and lock icon besides the wi-fi network name, you may then see options such as ‘cancel’, ‘forget network’, ‘turn off’. you can try to forget the network, then scan for the network and connect again see if any help. you can also try to turn off and reconnect again.
